“Yes, it seems even Bernie capitulated. Too bad. Two nights ago he was saying he would fight to make it a LESS BAD bill now that there was nothing really good left. So much for that fight.”

“The WH has already said it "might" try to make it more like the House bill. Not too encouraging. Sorry to burst your bubble.”

“Kuttner's argument is weak. Why would any progressive want to encourage this administration? Obama has shown he is a weak, corrupt politician, after all. We should let it fail and regroup, then start thinking about a primary challenger in 2012.”

Brettster replied on Dec 19, 2009 at 14:02:16

“You lack perspective. I would hardly call Obama weak and corrupt for passing the most significant health care improvements since medicare. Reforms (however incomplete) that have been fought for for DECADES by democrats without any success. If he gets that done, he'll be one of the strongest democrats. I don't see where Obama is corrupt, he stands on the correct side of history on most issues. No, not everything gets done perfectly through congress, but throwing a tantrum and scrapping everything will mean nothing ever gets done. Meanwhile republicans will pop champagne and win 2010, possibly 2012, and definitely 2016 and we'll get the next successor in the Nixon/Reagan/Bush/Bush line. Then we'll all suffer again.”

“Taibbi's is worse. Wait six to eight years? Unreasonable.”

“You are right! What’s the incentive for the left to support the Democrats or the Administration? What message would that send? The left has been taken for granted and slapped around with impunity!”

“What is she talking about? This bill has no "fundamental reform". It socks it to us good, though. Obama is happy with it. Dems stand to make a lot of money, and she thinks Ted would not be angry?”

jadeba replied on Dec 19, 2009 at 13:20:08

“Have you not noticed how hard it has been to get any bill passed dealing with health care at all? And, if this is so great for ins cos, why haven't they ordered their repub shills to vote for it. Obstruction to making a good bill has come from repubs, blue dogs and Joe. Ted would be angry but would he be willing to wait another 20 years for another chance? I don't think so, he went through that already.

Ms. Reggie knew her husband better than anyone posting here. It's interesting to see people posting as if they knew him better.”
